MAJOR HENRY - broke at the start losing ground. Stewards investigated a possible breach of the Push Out Rule near the 1600m when MAJOR HENRY shifted outwards with ARCHIE racing wider on the track. After speaking with junior driver R Harrison (assisted by J Dunn) and viewing the replays it was established that several runners had been racing loosely and as the replays were inconclusive no further action was taken. Notwithstanding this Miss Harrison was reminded of her obligations when shifting ground.
